Show your mods!!

This is a removeable DVD stand I made out of conduit and wood for the back bunk in our Jayco 23B. swivels and tilted slightly. I also made one that will slide in the post where our regular TV sits for those "Dry camping" days!!







Weather station.



Clock installed above Dinette.



No need to bring a chunk of wood with.

Hey all, first time poster, this is my 3rd trailer, first 2 were tent trailers, this is a Aerolite Cub C215.

First mod on all of my trailers is interior lighting, i replaced the stock bulbs with SMD Led panels, gives considerably more light, with less power usage.

Sorry no Before pic.

What is the purpose of the support brackets? Is the floor weak in the trailer?

Yes: the floor was rotted on top, and has a foam core. I replaced some of the foam, and the end result was a spongy floor even with an added 1/2" plywood that had overlapping seams, tons of contraction adhesives and screws holding it together.

The brackets are supports for the Unistrut lengths, which in turn hold up the 1/8" thick aluminum sheeting (which in turn holds up the floor).

The brackets also have the added benefit of stiffening up the steps: I upgraded the brackets on the steps, and now they are very firm and steady.

I'm looking at your lift pictures. I really think you should have the channel iron welded to the frame on the top I have the same type of frame as yours. I built a lift for mine and I didn't think just the bolts through the side would be enough. When you are turning a trailer it exhorts a tremendous pressure on the locating point on the axles.

Just replaced my led strand that I had on the awning roll after it discolored and quit. Mounted it on the trailer just under the awning this time but also installed a wifi controller for it. That is a cool toy, I am sitting about 75ft away from the trailer and can turn the lights on. Also took the led that was left and put under the trailer above the steps to light them. Added a drawer under the other side of the dinette and a door under the couch where the water tank was. Michael

I have several mods I've done to my travel trailer, including adding a support bracket system to the underside, and a future plan to add an inverter (I have a 1KW model).
Underfloor support:
It's comprised of 6" angle brackets, some Unistrut bars and a 24" wide by 1/8" thick aluminum sheet.

Here is the before assembly picture. It's upside down, and the bars haven't been cut yet.



And now it's installed:





Now the electrical part is pretty cool: I'm making a fully automatic transfer system between shore power and inverter power. It even shuts off high-current circuits like the converter, air conditioner, water heater and auxiliary battery charger circuits.

another mod I'm doing is adding extra circuits (battery charger and converter). Right now, the converter is on the same circuit as the "general" circuit.

I think this steel pipe is a gas line. If that is the case, then it is important to paint it regularly. Especially the fittings and the pipe ends: you don't want corrosion to work its way into the threads and cause a leak.

Great lift mod, BTW!

I don't have a pic of it yet, but I just finished this on my HTT and my in laws HTT. On our trailer we have two cushions up front on the dinette bench that ALWAYS fell over....beyond annoying



I Kinda funny how something so simple as 6 snaps could bring so much happiness.

I said the same thing about a 6 pack! 😉

I don't have any picture, but my biggest mod changing the bathroom door knob to a knob with a LOCK! This may not seem like a big deal to most, but when you are trying to use the bathroom and someone snatches the door open without knocking first. A $7 knob from Wal Mart with a lock should do the trick for our next trip!

[_ignmoney]

I have this small pass through and its not really any good to me so I made a sliding box.


made a cover for my spare tire so the sun dont beat it up so much

I see on another form a guy made a new storage box across the front of the camper, Thats my new project for this fall

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but.....does anybody use those 3M "sticker"/hooks in their campers? We have not purchased our HTT, yet (still deciding which is the best fit), but looking at storage...I'd like to put some hooks on the wall....especially in the shower. The main walls almost look like they are wallpapered in these campers, and I'm not sure those things will stick. I'd like to hang towels from them, so a little heavy for the wall? Also, has anybody tried a tension rod in the bathroom? Looking to have some hanging space, and we don't intend to use the shower. Again....are the walls strong enough to support this?

We put 3M Command hooks in the shower and we still use the shower. Those things hold tight no matter what. Also put the in wardrobe closets and on the "wallpaper walls". Never had a problem with them coming off or tearing the paper. Best 3M invention since post it notes!

[Habs33]

I added about 5 or 6 of the 3M sticky hooks for towels, rain jackets etc. For extra strength, I used tiny screws and pre-drilled a small hole just below the hook through the white plastic. Approx half a cm into the wall. So far, so good...

[TysonTDW]

I too use the command hooks. I have them in the shower, in the kitchen and by the door to hang keys. I keep a pack in the trailer and stick them up where needed. I plan to put up a line of them on the back od the trailer to hang wet shorts and towels. I definatly recommend them. I bought them to match what ever I am hanging them so they match, some are white, some brown and some black.
